Topic: Switcheroo: Tieren/Aegis (Read 3879 times)

"Yeah." Was all Tieren said before launching himself full pelt at Aegis. Sportsmanship is good and all, but currently all he wanted to do was beat his opponent. Not brutally, like he would normally do with his own weapon, but just to have a good fight.

He did a ridiculously over-the-top slash with his dagger, using it as a feint to slide under Aegis's guard and scoop the rifle up from the floor, dropping the non-iced dagger in the process. I will shoot her with this god-dammed piece of flashy excuse for a gun, or so help me Dust- He then proceeded to fire off 3 normal pellets. 2 flew off into the sunset, but one seemed to have the tiniest potential to hit it's intended target.

(3 pellets, 3% each, two are almost guaranteed to miss unless Aegis runs into them)

The slash was very obvious and it lead her to just straight up moving out of the way via a quick step to the side. As expected from his previous attempts at shooting her they followed much in the same way; flying off into a random direction the third, however, got within a reasonable shot, this gave her the reminded to keep an eye out for any other shoots that might hit. Getting close would be the best action so she did just that. Random zig-zags to make herself an unpredictable target before coming in with a feint in the form of a right hook only to turn around at the last moment to spin and let that same fist aim towards his shoulder/head.

Tieren was already backpedalling when his shots missed, so when the right hook turned into a left, he was caught off guard, but not in any danger of getting hit. He changed his grip on the rifle to resemble more of a bat, while winding up and delivering a heavy blow to Aegis's midriff.

Mythos let the baton in her left hand extend the simple weapon design being more helpful, bringing it to its full length and redirecting the strike of the bat away from her and using her right arm to go for a straight punch towards her opponent's face.

Tieren ducked the straight punch, letting it flash past his right ear, while bringing the rifle-bat-weapon around from the redirected path, going for a side swing to her ribcage, trying to wind her and fully commit to the duel. If it hit, he would probably drop the rifle (again-whoever owned the weapon would probably have to get a new one) and close in with the remaining dagger; if she deflected the hit like she did multiple others, well, he'd have to wing it from there.

Aegis moved her left wrist back, letting the end of the baton line against her bicep and used it as a makeshift shield of sorts to block the incoming bat strike. Without wasting any time she extended tha baton in her right hand and activated the dust, aiming for his stomach and press it against him to hopefully cause his muscles to lock up from the shock.

Widening his eyes as the now crackling baton arced toward his body, Tieren grabbed Aegis's wrist with both hands and bent the baton back toward her own chest, though not before the baton impacted for a second and sent shocks coursing though his midriff. Great. Now he felt like he had stitches on both sides of his body. Fun.

Aegis reacted swiftly, using the left hand to bring it out from the defensive position and laid a decisive strike against the muscles that laid just at the base of the neck in line with the shoulder. Her right arm tensed up to slow down the baton to a kinda snails pace and deactivating the dust as well as letting the baton move back into the shaft as it was being pressed to her stomach.

Rotating his shoulder and ducking his head to avoid the hand chop, he turned the dodge into a shoulder charge, but mainly to distract Aegis's attention from the multiple underarm punches he was driving into her belly, one powerful punch after another. Moving his right arm, he encircled Aegis's waist with it, attempting to hold her in place so she couldn't avoid the punches.

-Shoulder charge--2%-Multiple punches for 4% each (Choose how many Aegis takes and when to stop)

Aegis thought he was going to go back, the shoulder charge certainly didn't help, the strike against her belly told her all she needed to know. After the second strike her tight hand intercepted his own. Her grip pausing his assualt and using her left arm to bring it around her opponents neck and gave her free reign to deliver knee strikes to her heart's content. Whilst she twisted Tieren's arm away from where she was striking to give herself more space to work with.

[Aura 45%]Knee strike 6% (Your choice in how many hits Tieren takes as long as he can stop it.)

Tieren was happy that his plan had worked. He was decisively less happy when she started doing the same to him. Wrenching his arm out of Aegis's grip and bringing her even closer with his right into what would normally be described as a hug, he started smashing his right hand as a fist into her back, before following it up with a head smash. In afterthought, normally his face would be redder than a Dust-powered flame with this level of contact, but right now he was fully engrossed in the battle. He'd feel it later, though.

Tieren, suspected that something was up when he pulled her closer. Using her left hand that was around his neck and countered the incoming headbutt with a fist to the side of his head. Bringing her right hand to her opponent's left bicep, she halted the assualt temporarily to allow time to bring both of her fists to connect with his head on either side, at the same time.

And here I was thinking the point of this was to use other people's weapons. Instead I get a Vacuan street brawl. And Dust I love it. Taking the fist to the face, Tieren used the jerking recoil from the punch to dodge the next two oncoming punches, and sprang back briefly before faking a left punch and instead leading with a burning lariat, followed by an actual left punch to her abdomen and a right hook at her face. Not incredibly hard-hitting, but Aegis already proved she could easily counter his heavy blows.

Aegis went to block Tieren's fake left punch with her right forearm, upon seeing the opposing fist she ducked and moved forwards, from behind she proceeded to place one hand on the collar of his tank top, another grabbing his shorts by the waist and proceeded to pull him up from the ground, giving an accidental wedgie as she did and threw him down onto the ground to make him land on his head and either land on his back or his chest. Following this Aegis delivered a brutal kick to his face the very moment she had an opening.

There's a good thing about being too engaged in a fight. It's that you temporarily ignore distractions such as outside noise and pain. So when Aegis lifted him straight off the floor, he was able to phase right through the pain and instead of falling, grabbed her arm and chest, and put his entire weight on her so she fell with him on top. He positioned his elbow so it would pile-drive straight into her stomach as she landed.
